ABN (anything but norton)



Seriously, current wisdom is Microsoft security essentials. Less BSOD's, hooked better with win 7, and free.

I use something else.

You'll find various answers but majority of the people here uses and recommends MSE.

Yeah I've been told that Norton sucks thats why I'm open to suggestions, guess I'm gonna give it a try to MSE, thanks guys.

to be fair, norton doesn't suck half as bad as it used to.

+1 for MSE though

Microsoft Security Essentials.

I personally use Avast and like it. For antispyware, SuperAntispyware and MalwareBytes will be the best IMHO. A Guy

Instead of relying on the opnions of others why not do a little research of your own and make a decision based on facts?

Norton does everything but suck, these days.

If you still want to change, tw33k gave excellent advice.

I've been using Norton Security 2010 (now 2011) and was a hard core anti-Norton fan for years before the 2010 release. Now I will not use anything else. they really go their act together on this one.

I used Avira till I got sick of all the popups and false alarms... So I use MSE now
for anti-spyware I'd recommend using MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware but not at the same time.
SAS as real time protection and MalwareBytes as an Anti-spyware... But it wont come cheap

I agree that researching ones own needs and making a decision based on that is preferable but asking opinions from experts can be a valuable addition.

Personally I believe the best Anti Virus is the person behind the keyboard. Person Responsibility goes a long way

I agree that responsible web surfing goes a long way toward preventing infections, but in this day and age when scrupulous Malware writers encode their scripts in banners and pay to have them posted on popular sites with good reputations it becomes the recipe for an unanticipated driveby download.

As for myself I take the personal responsibility of running my browser in the virtual space of Sandboxie where I have trapped this kind of Malware download and subsequently destroyed it with Eraser.
